Ripping: v. to dismantle and destroy free publications.
From the Rippers Page:
What are rippers? Rippers are a clandestine group of revolutionary rebels from around the world, who are out to detroy the greatest evil plaguing our world today! What evil you ask, the GREAT EVIL of FREE ENTERPRISE of course!!! These evil free enterprises are spreading their evils otherwise known as “free publications” across the world on every street corner, at every storefront, and at every bus stop! Tempting as it may seem to the average passerby who sees one of the fancy newspaper looking machines that says “free take one”; they must resist grabing one because those “free publications” are fueling the the very system that keeps the average businessmen in poverty because they cannot compete competively with a free product.
An organization formed in Tucson dedicated to the destruction of free enterprise material. I was an early member back in the day. Recently, there has been heavy resistance to the Rippers and their missions. Stifled by the media, the rebel Rippers keep evil in line with their escapades and stealthy maneuvers.
